Directory of Children's Literature & Book Awards DIRECTORY OF CHILDREN'S LITERATURE & BOOK AWARDS Nationally-Sponsored Programs in North America Compiled by The Reading Tub, Inc. Updated: December 2007 The Reading Tub, Inc. created this comprehensive, annotated directory to lead you to great books to share with a child . When you are trying to get a child excited about reading, a good place to start is to select books that have won awards. The Caldecott and Newbery Medals are among the most widely known awards … but they are by no means the only national awards for children's literature. On our list you will find awards presented by the book industry, library associations, organizations that advocate literacy, and winners selected by consumers. Use this directory to learn about other awards and use the hyperlinks to take you to these organizations and lists of award-winning books. Be sure to also read our Directory of State/Regional Awards. While this directory is by no means complete, it does represent a broad cross-section of programs. We will update the directory as resources allow. SOURCES OF INFORMATION The Websites listed below are among the most informative and reliable resources for learning about awards in children's Literature. When building our list, we referred to these sites for information, links, and leads. Some are kept continually updated; others may have dated information and broken links, but they were nevertheless valuable in helping us identify children's literature award programs. http://www.ucalgary.ca/~dkbrown/index.html http://www.bookweb.org/btw/awards http://www.harcourtbooks.com/booksearch/awardsresults.asp?letter=A http://www.childrenslit.com/award_link.html Internet School Library Media Center, James Madison University http://falcon.jmu.edu/~ramseyil/awards.htm http://www.carr.org/read/stateAwardbks.htm http://www.mcelmeel.com/curriculum/bookawards.html http://www.slais.ubc.ca/saltman/ccib/AwardsSub.html http://www.bookcentre.ca/awards/awards_ind/index.shtml Copyright: The Reading Tub, Inc., 2007 Directory of Awards for Children's Literature – National Awards Programs (compiled by the Reading Tub, Inc.)

Americas Award for Children's and Young Adult Literature The Consortium of Latin American Studies Programs (CLASP) gives this award in recognition of a US work in English or Spanish which "authentically and engagingly presents the experience of individuals in Latin America or the Caribbean, or of Latinos in the United States." Arthur Ellis Award (Canada) This award, established in 1984, is presented annually by the Crime Writers of Canada, Canada’s national professional association for fiction writers of crime, detective, espionage, mystery and thrillers.

(Pura) Belpré Medal The Belpré Medal honors a Latino/Latina writer and illustrator whose works best portray, affirm, and celebrate the Latino cultural experience in an outstanding work of literature for children and youth. It is awarded every two years by the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) and the National Association to Promote Library Services to the Spanish Speaking (REFORMA). It is named in honor of Pura Belpré, the first Latina librarian of the New York Public Library. The first awards, given in 1996, were selected from books published 1990-1995. Best Books Award This award, sponsored by USA Book News is designed to promote the best books of the year with an award cycle timed to highlight award winners during the holiday season. Application deadlines are July 31 of the award year, with finalists and winners announced in September. Books published from June to December of the previous year, as well as galleys of the current year are eligible. There is an application and entry fee. There are twelve Children's book categories, including: Children's – Educational; Children's – Fiction; Children's Non-Fiction; Children's – Novelty and Gift; Children's Picture Book – Hardcover fiction; Children's Picture Book – Hardcover Fiction with audio CD; Children's Picture Book – Non- Fiction; Children's Picture Book – Softcover; Children's Picture Book – Softcover with audio CD; Children's Picture Book - Softcover Non-fiction; Young Adult – Fiction; and Young Adult – Educational. Geoffrey Bilson Award for Historical Fiction for Young People (Canada) The Canadian Children’s Book Centre presents this annual award to recognize a Canadian author whose work demonstrates excellence in writing historical fiction for young readers in the previous year. All books written by Canadian citizens or landed immigrants are considered by the jury. The award was created in 1988 to honor Geoffrey Bilson, an avid reader and author. The award includes a $1,000 prize. Blue Ribbon Books This program is sponsored by Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books . Categories include: picture books, fiction, and non-fiction. The Bulletin is a book review journal for librarians, teachers, parents, and others interested in new children's books. In presenting its annual list of Blue Ribbon books, the Bulletin also publishes a list of "dissents" for books that were compelling to some judges, but did not quite convince the entire committee. This is a unique feature of this awards program. We were able to locate information about submitting books for consideration, but no specific criteria relative to an awards program. Page 3of 16 Directory of Awards for Children's Literature – National Awards Programs (compiled by the Reading Tub, Inc.)

Children's literature categories include: children's picture books, juvenile (9 to 12) fiction and non-fiction; and Young Adult (12+), fiction and non-fiction. The Editor’s Choice Prizes (one for fiction, one for non-fiction) come with a $1,500 cash prize. There are also gold, silver, and bronze awards. There is an entry fee for this awards program.

  • Bestseller Lists and Product Variety
    Bestseller Lists and Product Variety Alan T. Sorensen∗ July 2006 Abstract This paper uses detailed weekly data on sales of hardcover fiction books to evaluate the impact of the New York Times bestseller list on sales and product variety. In order to circum- vent the obvious problem of simultaneity of sales and bestseller status, the analysis exploits time lags and accidental omissions in the construction of the list. The empirical results indi- cate that appearing on the list leads to a modest increase in sales for the average book, and that the effect is more dramatic for bestsellers by debut authors. The paper discusses how the additional concentration of demand on top-selling books could lead to a reduction in the privately optimal number of books to publish. However, the data suggest the opposite is true: the market expansion effect of bestseller lists appears to dominate any business stealing from non-bestselling titles. ∗Stanford University and NBER; [email protected]. I am thankful to the Hoover Institution, where much of this research was conducted, and to Nielsen BookScan for providing the book sales data. The research has benefitted from helpful conversations with Jim King, Phillip Leslie, and Joel Sobel, among many others. Scott Rasmussen provided excellent research assistance. Any errors are mine. 1 1 Introduction The perceived importance of bestseller lists is a salient feature of multimedia industries. Weekly sales rankings for books of various genres are published in at least 40 different newspapers across the U.S., and “making the list” seems to be a benchmark of success for authors.

  • ALCUIN GOES to LEIPZIG the Alcuin 2004 Book Design Award Winners Mark Canada's Debut at the German Book/Airs
    ALCUIN GOES TO LEIPZIG The Alcuin 2004 Book Design Award winners mark Canada's debut at the German book/airs. Leah Gordon and a few other members joined the trip. OOKS, PUBLISHERS, BOOKSELLERS and readers have been travelling to Leipzig every year since B1497, when Kaiser Maximilian I granted the town the privilege of holding trade fairs. In I 5 94, the first Leipzig trade fair catalogue was published (for booksellers). And over 400 years later (overlooking a 20-year hiatus during the Second World War and Cold War years), the fair continues; but 2006 marked the first time with an official Canadian presence. Since r 99 r, the German group Stiftung Buchkunst has organized an exhibit and competition called The Most Beautiful Books from all over the World as part of the larger book fair. In June 2005, they contacted the Society and asked us if we would participate in the competition on behalf of Canada, since we run the only national competition of its type in the country. We jumped at the chance and sent our 2004 prizewinning books to Germany for exhibition at the fall book fair in Frankfurt. After that exhibit, the Stiftung packed up the material and sent it to Leipzig for the international competition in February and the subsequent presentation ofawards at their exhibit in March. A miscellaneous little group (Anne Yandle of Vancouver, Jeannine Green of Edmonton, Marlene Chan ofOttawa and myself) decided that we couldn't miss the opportunity to go to the first international exhibit ofour material. We were joined on the trip by one of the prizewinning designers from the 2004 competition, typographer/printer/publisher Alan Stein (Church Street Press in Parry Sound, Ontario), whose book In Smoke was included in the exhibit.

  • Monthly Highlights from TBBC
    Monthly Highlights from TBBC January 2021 TALKING BOOK & BRAILLE CENTER A MESSAGE FROM THE NEW JERSEY STATE LIBRARIAN This will be my last newsletter message. I will be retiring on January 31st. Jennifer Nelson has been named as the next State Librarian. I have been reflecting on the past eight years. While I believe that the State Library has made many advances across the state, none has been as positive and fulfilling as the services to you, our TBBC patrons. You can go to public libraries in almost every county for help to download books and magazines. TBBC can now send multiple books on a single cartridge and TBBC is now piloting a Braille device that fits into the palm of your hand. Such advances are truly remarkable and will get better. So as I leave a job I love, I love that you can now get “any book, any time.” Take care and be safe. Thank you, Mary Mary L. Chute New Jersey State Librarian NEW JERSEY STATE LIBRARIAN – JENNIFER NELSON Thomas Edison State University (TESU) announced that Jennifer R. Nelson has been chosen to serve as the new State Librarian for the New Jersey State Library (NJSL), an affiliate of TESU. TESU President, Dr. Merodie A.

Brand Intimacy provides insight and lessons for marketers, business leaders and entrepreneurs who are seeking to understand these ultimate brand relationships and the opportunities they represent. Certain brands are studied, such as Apple, Amazon and Netflix for their successes as well as United, Foursquare and Apple again for their missteps.
